The Lions lost right guard Stephen Peterman for the season because of an ankle injury.

A Cleveland Browns fan held up a sign that read "No Fun Losing" during their latest loss.

The Lions made at least one roster move today, signing center Melvin Fowler and, as previously reported, placing cornerback Jack Williams on injured reserve.

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez was handed a blue button with "Beat Ohio State" in maize letters when he was introduced as the new leader of college football's winningest program.

The Detroit Lions have signed veteran offensive lineman Melvin Fowler, with right guard Stephen Peterman likely sidelined by a right ankle injury.

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said today that there's concern right guard Stephen Peterman might miss some games because of ankle injury he suffered in Detroit's 27-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Lions coach Jim Schwartz has gone back to Manny Ramirez at left guard, at least for the time being.

Just had to weigh in on this one. With 2 seconds remaining in the first half -- after the Seattle Seahawks had cut the Detroit Lions' lead to 17-13 -- two incredible things happened.

In each of the first eight weeks of the season, at least one Detroit Lions player has lost his job for one reason or another, usually because of ineffective performance.

INACTIVE: WR Mike Hass, S Jamar Adams, G Mike Gibson, G Mansfield Wrotto, DT Red Bryant, WR Ben Obomanu, TE Cameron Morrah.

The Detroit Lions are expected to continue to rotate Ernie Sims, above, and DeAndre Levy at the right outside linebacker spot, and playing time could be based on who has the hot hand.

Now that the Lions have made the unthinkable thinkable by going 0-16 last year, everyone is wondering who will be the second team to do it.

Not only are the Lions 1-6, they're coming off back-to-back stinkers. They were dominated in a 26-0 loss at Green Bay.

Rams wide receiver Donnie Avery appears on the verge of a breakout game, with TD catches against Minnesota and Jacksonville , and a 50-yard non-scoring catch last week against Indianapolis.

Jon Jansen's mindset in his position switch on the Lions' offensive line should fit every player at every position on a team desperate to establish a winning identity.

Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert Catching up on a newsy Tuesday: Detroit Lions: Two previously-injured players participated in a post-bye practice -- quarterback Matthew Stafford and defensive tackle Sammie Lee Hill -- and the Lions unveiled a slightly reconfigured offensive line.

As expected, there were some familiar faces -- a welcome sight for the coaching staff -- back at practice as the Lions returned from their bye weekend.

The Lions will practice for the next two days, then take the weekend off for the bye week.

Some of the Lions have tasted life on the other side of this NFC North rivalry. Some of them have called Lambeau Field home as NFL players.

GREEN BAY, Wis. - The Lions' top young offensive players - quarterback Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Calvin Johnson - will not play today against the Packers because of right knee injuries.
